Galani the Panther. Namo, how long will this last? Southpaw stance on Galani, orthodox on Namo. Oh, Galani taekwondo stylings early on. He is full of tricks, Alon Galani. A seasoned veteran spinning heel kick there from Galani. Goes headhunting and goes for the leg. Drops it a little lower there does Galani, then goes up high. I like that he's changing levels here. Low, high, high, low. Galani giving Namo plenty to think about. That was a ball, a bear paw slap there from Namo. Big left leg. He's trying to touch up that lead leg. Get Namo thinking about it and then going up top. Galani constantly catches it from Galani. Bad tactics so far from the veteran. One of the most popular one championship movement here, Mitch. Yeah, this is what Namo has to do. He has to get nice and tight, get that close, keep that pressure on Galani. I like that dirty boxing right there as he grabbed the head. National Geographic Channel Vikings. Good overhand right from Galani. Uppercut to a right hand from Galani. Good drift away jab there from Namo. He's a leaner because of the person that he's in there with. Namo looks like a super heavyweight. This guy is gigantic. Galani is usually the biggest dude inside the room. Got to wonder who would tire the crap out of these two. Galani with all of his muscle mass or the sheer size of Namo who also gives up experience. So you've got to wonder what pressure and what burden that takes on Namo going up against the experience of Galani who has side control now. Good catch off the kick from Galani to end up in side control. He says he's been working hard on that grappling. Let's see how it pays on belly. He slides that knee on. He's going to go full mount. Excellent position to last 30 seconds. He's got 20 seconds to get it done right here. Alain Galani in full mount. How do you do? Namo's going to give his back. Alain's looking for an armbar. Can he find a finish on the Norwegian? And no, back to their feet. And this big midsection. Short popping punches off the left. And that's the end of a very entertaining opening round. Alain wanted to get the finish. He was hunting for the armbar. That's what I was talking about early in the first. I like the aggressive punching style coming from Galani to close that distance. It's all about who controls the range, who controls the center of that circle, that mid part right there. That's where they're doing their best work. That was a beautiful outside sweep to end up in side control. From there, he went knee on belly, had the back. And I do believe that's what won him the round is being in that dominant position. Namo was able. Maybe the last two years. A cerebral opening round. Not overextending, not rushing, choosing his moments, landing his strikes, getting the fight to the ground, mounting his opponent. And that's more like it from Namo. Although it landed just to the top of the groin of Galani, he had better extension on that right leg. Trying to scoop the leg there was Galani and so too Namo. Galani front kick, inside leg kick high to the femoral profunda. Circles off counterclockwise. Jab overhand right from Galani, round kick to the liver section. Forward that lunging sort of fencing attack, how he throws the hands. But you're not we're not really seeing any sort of check hooks or anything coming from normal. Namo just coming in, swinging those mallets at Galani. But good head movement, but he got caught again. I mean, these are wild looping shots. There's the knee. Oh, and you see there the knee came up to the midsection, but the leg is up, but the foot isn't pointed down. The foot goes at a 90 degree angle to the shin. So the top of the foot rises up to your thigh. So it creates kind of a point. And there's a yellow card issued by Olivier Koss, which results. Let's have a look again. Now, watch the position of the foot on Namo when he throws the knee. See the knee. OK, the knee slides off, but then the top of the foot throws that knee again. You've got to make sure he curls that foot and makes that knee nice and tight. But I like this aggression coming from normal. You know, he realizes that he's down now with the issuance of that yellow body shot from Galani. He didn't have the mustard behind it. Nice leg kick from the Cameroonian. Namo lumbering forward eats an overhand right power and then Galani switches back to orthodox. Mitch, when you get struck to the groin that much in a match, what does it do to you psychologically? Do you want some sort of vengeance on the other guy? Nice little running in again without lunging, punching style. I think that it can if you're inexperienced, if you don't have, you know, as much experience doing this for a very long time. He's been doing kickboxing. He's got judo tournaments. He's an African kickboxing champion. He's been kicked there a lot. So he's kind of he's he's used to how to deal with it. And you can see that it's not really affecting him too much. Corner saying to Alan, keep going, keep kicking his legs. You're going to hurt him. And indeed, those shits are taking a battering now. Mamo's hurt. Oh, now they get kicked to the groin. Maybe one slip to the groin of Namo there. Going off on the legs. And you can see that the way normal was trying to move. And I think, oh, nothing retaliatory there. Let's say from Gilani, he's a gentleman. He's a he's an athlete, a sportsman with a true Budo spirit. So it wasn't like only a few seconds remain in injury time. If Namo cannot answer the ladies and gentlemen, due to an unintentional foul, the athlete is unable to continue. Therefore, this match has been declared a no contest. So there you have it. I know contest Gilani asking why. And the reason is, folks, I'll tell you, and I do have confirmation from Rich Franklin, you're looking really sharp out there. Your kicks were landing effectively. You showed that improved grappling that you spoke to me about. What would you like next here in one championship? Do you want to run it back? I'll tell you, and I do have confirmation from Rich Franklin.
